Fury Reports Encouraging Metallurgical Test Results from the Ninaaskumuwin Lithium Discovery at Elmer East

Core Insights - Fury Gold Mines Limited announced preliminary metallurgical test results for its Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery in Northern Quebec, indicating that the mineralization is suitable for conventional lithium extraction techniques with a recovery rate of 62.2% lithium and a concentrate grade of 5.59% Li2O from a single composite sample [1][7][10] Metallurgical Test Results - The metallurgical tests were conducted on 27 samples from spodumene-bearing pegmatite, revealing that samples contained up to 42% spodumene and that spodumene is the sole lithium-bearing mineral identified [4][5] - The pegmatite is free of impurities, suggesting the potential to produce lithium concentrates suitable for battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide [4][5] - The average density of the samples was measured at 2.70 g/m, and the grades of the 85 samples analyzed ranged from 0.02% to 3.71% Li2O [5] Mineralogical Analysis - A mineralogical study of 58 samples indicated a high percentage of spodumene (up to 42%) and an abundance of other minerals such as albite (up to 70%) and quartz (up to 99%) [5] - Impure lithium-bearing minerals were not identified, enhancing the potential for high-quality lithium production [5] Drilling Results - Recent drilling results included 32.35 meters of 1.16% Li2O from drill hole EE24-003 and 22.48 meters of 1.19% Li2O from drill hole EE24-002, with the mineralized spodumene-bearing pegmatite remaining open at depth and along strike [9] Project Location and Accessibility - The Ninaaskumuwin lithium prospect is part of Fury's 100% owned Elmer East project, covering approximately 45,735 hectares and is easily accessible from the paved Billy Diamond highway [8] Future Work and Potential - The company expressed optimism regarding the metallurgical results and indicated that further exploration and follow-up work are warranted to realize the project's full potential [3][10]
